secure Vimeo video not accessible?

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Bug Reports › secure Vimeo video not accessible?

  • Girish M. 3 years, 4 months ago

    Dear Foliovision support,

    Our secure Vimeo videos seem to be not accessible any more.
    The video plays in Vimeo.
    The Vimeo privacy setting is “Private”.
    We use the Vimeo security plugin.
    The alternative referer is ok on the side of Vimeo and in the FV player settings.

    The browser console gives this error:

    GET (redacted) [HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content 153ms]
    
    Request to access cookie or storage on “(redacted)” was blocked because it came from a tracker and content blocking is enabled.
    
    HTTP “Content-Type” of “text/html” is not supported. Load of media resource (redacted) failed. free-taster-maharishis-insights-into-vedic-science-15-january-2022
    

    I made a test page if you want to check yourself:
    (redacted)

    Did Vimeo change anything again?

    Thank you for your time
    Michael Gallmeier

    Hello Michael,

    please disable Settings -> FV Player Pro -> Hosting -> Vimeo -> Turbocharge Ajax Vimeo Loading. If it works that way, then we need to improve that Turbocharge loading to support Vimeo video passwords.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Michael,

    also, if you use FV Player Vimeo Security you should not be using the video password on Vimeo as it does not check the referrer that way.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Turbocharge Ajax is not activated anyway.
    The privacy setting in Vimeo is:
    Private — Only you and people on your account can access.

    Hello Michael,

    are you able to play the video now? Your test page required login so I can’t check.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    sorry for the locked test page; the video does not play.
    I will find out how to open the page.

    Hello Girish,

    please double-check that the video is allowed to be embed on the “Alternative Referer” domain.

    You mentioned it’s set to:

    Private — Only you and people on your account can access.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Yes, I checked again: The Vimeo privacy setting of this video is “Private”, and “Allow embed to (redacted)”.
    The FV Player Hosting -> Vimeo -> Alternative Referer allows the same URL.

    Hello Girish,

    you have to pick “Hide from Vimeo” instead of “Private”. When the video is set to Private, Vimeo interface shows a note about embeds:

    When the privacy is set to “Private”, the embedded video won’t be visible to everyone.

    We will ensure our guide uses proper up to date screenshots.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thank you, with the Vimeo privacy setting “Hide from Vimeo” it works now!
    However, I swear on “The Art of Computer Programming” that before we could use the Vimeo setting “Private” as well. :)
